calling out the incredible bullshit of Cruz and his ilk.
Easy for Cruz to be so callous in his "set-for-life" job!

UNTIL the Democrats are in office then all we here is whinny bit*h like Ted Cruz worrying where the money is coming from.

They have been playing this game for years. The "Two Santa Clause Theory"

Putin's plan is to sow chaos and fear by means of the GOP disabling US government, infrastructure, economy, and communities as thoroughly as possible.

He said, „Cruz.“ I said, “Lose!”
That Cruz-you-lose, that Cruz-you-lose.
I do not like that Cruz-you-lose.

“Do you like my phony ruse?”
I do not like your phony ruse.
I do not like it, Cruz-you-lose.

“Would you like it as a bore?
“Like it on the Senate floor?”

I would not like you, crashing bore,
I hate you on the Senate floor.
I do not like your big fat head.
I do not like it, Ted-so-red.

Would you like it bit by bit?
Would you like it full of shit?

Not with shit, not one bit,
Not as a bore, not on the floor
I do not like your big swelled head
I do not want it, live or dead.
I don’t care for your phony ruse.
I do not like it, Cruz-you-lose.

Would you try it blowing smoke?
Would you like it served by Koch?

Not with smoke, not by Koch
Not with shit, not one bit
Not as a bore, not on the floor
I do not like your right wing blues
I do not like it Cruz-you-lose.

“You don’t like it, so you say.
“But listen one time, and you may.
“Listen, and you may I say!”

Ted, if you will let me be,
I will listen and you’ll see.

SAY! You really ARE quite full shit!
I like your drivel not one bit!
You really are a crashing bore!
You don’t deserve the Senate floor!
And I won’t listen in the dark.
I cannot stand your slimy snark.
And I would put you in a box
‘Cause you are stupid as an ox
And you deserve to wheeze and choke
Since you are only blowing smoke
All financed by the Brothers Koch,
All your future prospects dead,
Go put THAT in your big fat head!
We don’t fall for your phony ruse.
We do not like you, Cruz-you-lose.

30. I don't understand why the Dems don't link this to the economy
Tue Aug 11, 2020, 10:24 AM

The economy is about spending. And when the majority of people don't have money to spend--not even on housing, food and clothing--then the economy tanks. We know this.

It's not about "rewarding" people for not working. It's about keeping the economy afloat until the pandemic is under control. (Of course, it'd be nice if we had leadership that had any interest in getting it under control.) It's about saving as many jobs as we can until then.

Hell, even the banks will run into trouble if people can't pay their rent and landlords can't pay their mortgages. You'd think the GOP might be a little worried about that. Seriously, how many financial institutions went belly-up in 2008?
